The River Humber pipeline is an important pipeline - connecting an import location for gas at Easington, on the East Yorkshire coast, to the national network – delivering gas supplies to millions of homes and businesses throughout the UK. This Iong-term project sees the construction of a replacement, high-pressure gas pipeline. Housed within a tunnel, underneath the River Humber, the pipeline will replace the existing one, which lies on the riverbed. The project will provide the 5km tunnel and involves inserting a single string of 42” steel pipe and connecting it into the above-ground installations at Paull and Goxhill villages. This world record pipeline will be the longest gas pipeline in a tunnel, inserted in a single string, in the world.

The boring machine was transported and reassembled back in January; it has now begun boring a 3.65m diameter tunnel 35 meters below the river Humber. This project is due to complete in 2019 and we’re excited to be recruiting for a number of roles, including, Site Engineers, Sub and Site Agents.
